The 2007 Mayor's 5th Grade Earth Day Poster Contest
"Keep Our Rivers Clean"
This year marks the first Mayor's 5th Grade Earth Day Poster Contest. The contest is a
way for the City of Springfield to connect with our community's children in a fun and
educational way. Springfield is a city of rivers, bound by the McKenzie River to the
north and the Willamette River to the south, making this year's theme of "keep our rivers
clean" relevant to all of us who live here. Looking at the 225 entries, it was apparent
that the children of this community understand the importance of protecting our
waterways. Across the board the entries displayed artistic talent and bright ideas which
made selecting the top five a very difficult job. The five winning posters will be on
display in the lobby of City Hall through the month of May.
